Tooth
A tooth a tooth a tooth!
Is poking through your little gum.
Welcome to the world of teeth.
Welcome to carrots.
Welcome to cashews.
Welcome to hamburgers.
Welcome to broccoli.
Welcome to apples
Fresh from the tree
Or dipped in caramel.
Welcome to popcorn
Sitting at the movies
Buttery and crunchy perfect.
This teeny tiny tip of a tooth
Means you're becoming a boy
With likes and dislikes
Who makes faces at spinach
Maybe
And adores oranges.
Hooray! Welcome to the next phase!!!
ReplyDeleteA big moment!
ReplyDeletePrecious poem about the tiny tooth. I remember well the feel of the sharp bump. It was usually welcomed after a few long nights. I hope this was an easy break through.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written, Anna. Hurrah for this, and you're right, it is the beginning...
